Compliance Market

Carbon Credit
activities which reduce CO2 from the air, such as afforestation
Challenges
double counting of greenhouse gas reductions
quality and authenticity of climate projects
concerns about ‘greenwashing
companies may buy credits, simply offsetting carbon footprints instead of reducing their overall emissions
